Program Description:

The Rising Stars program helps high school students from the Penns Grove, Pennsville, Salem, and Woodtown areas

prepare for collegiate success. The comprehensive program consists of a five-week training series each summer at

the college. Students focus on english, reading, and math in preparation for the SAT examination.
